Alternate Mode is going WHITE

In the next few months, we will be transitioning the powder coating metal and sensor overlays of our malletKAT, vibeKAT, and trapKAT products to a new, bright white body.

This beautiful and contemporary look is further enhanced by also including a solid black nylon coating atop of the pads. This coating is not just aesthetic but provides additional protection of the pads from the sun, rain, and general abuses.

While we still currently offer our classic instrument colors, we do not anticipate re-stocking them in the future.

Bear with us while we change out the current pictures and images on our website.

The malletKAT Pro offers a standard 3-octave design which can be expanded to 4 or 5 octaves. It incorporates the same FSR technology as all of the KAT instruments, delivering superb feel and response. With 127 programmable setups and features like splitting, layering, poly/mono and "hang" modes, the MalletKAT is an incredibly expressive and powerful alternative to traditional marimba and vibraphone instruments.

Dimensions: 47" x 11" x 2.5"Weight: 15 lbs.

This year, Young Chang, the maker of the Kurzweil sound card, unexpectedly decided to stop manufacturing the sound card for Alternate Mode. We still have some left, but will soon no longer have the KS available as we want to keep a supply of repair boards available.

Ever since the Malletstation was announced last November, many comparisons with the malletKAT were posted on social media. It’s amazing that comparisons were made even before the instrument was released! Now that the product is on the market, it’s time for a more thorough investigation.
